Proposes a constitutional amendment changing the retirement age of judges
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change the mandatory retirement age for judges in Missouri from seventy to seventy-five years old. The change directly affects all current and future judges, allowing them to serve up to five additional years unless they choose to retire earlier. Under the new rules, judges could also continue working as senior judges after retirement if they agree to the arrangement. This measure requires approval from state voters to become part of the state constitution.
